Test Method

Force-Path Measuring

The force-path measuring is a measuring of the power progress depending on a path. A typical force-path procress would be the one of a mechanic spring.

Springs are often used in electric products like switches, contactors, relays, solenoid coils, etc.

A at force-path measuring the path is specified by the tester or the product itself. Either the tester confirms motor-driven something at the test object or the test object moves itself due to its own force.

During this the tester continuously measures the path (the distance) and records the force via a second measuring channel. Hence a for the test object typical force-path graph results. The graph is automatically analyzed and evaluated by the tester.
